Kfatlnir Remarks by Rabbi SaiBflelil.ThoLeMoyne instil nt cf tbii cityis, without doubt, one of tbe beet conducted institutions for the educationof colored yonth within the limits o(theuniou. it bat an average attendance of nearly 300 pupils, who are notonly instructed in tbe learning contained in books, bot are abo taughtauch useful and practical arts as willbe ol service to tbem in making theirway in tbe world. Tbe girls are taughtsewing and cooking, an bonr each daybeingderoted to each of these branchesof education ; an bonr each day is alsoset apart for tbe instruction of a clarsin nursing. AlrW months ago Piof.A. J. Steele, tbe accomplished principal of the institute, began ta put intooperation a plan that he baa cherishedfor years, the foundation of aa industrial department in tbe school, whereycung men may receive instruction inthe mechanical arts. A cla wasstarted in February that now numbeistwenty-nve pupils, wno leceive dailylessors in woodwork and carpentering. Tbe pupils range inage frjm seventeen to twenty-five,and aro expected, a prerequisiteto admifsion in tbe class to fee thoroughly grouadid in tbe rudiments ofa common school education. Mr. 8.S. Steele, a practical mechanic and anefficient instructor, baa charge of tbeHas?, and speaks with confidence oftbe f atiafactory tesu'tj alrtadyachieved. There a-e ten carpenterbenches in tbe class-room with twentyfive tool) to each bench. Three classesate daily iostruct9d, and some ot thettudents are already developing special aptness for their tasks and justifying the wisdom of the founders ofthe class by tbe progress they havemade. It is contemplated to makeeach court e embrace three years, to bespent as follows: Firet year, woodworking; second year, forging andiron-work, and the third year mach'nery. Laet night the formal opening of tbeManual Training Department of tbeInstitute took place in the large recitation-roomof the rchool, and therewere present, by invitation, a largenumber ol prominent citiz jns wno areknown friends of the Institute, in addition to the regular pupils and theirrelatives and friends. On the platform sat Kabtu SiraHeld, jnt. JHarvey Matbes, Judge J. M. Greerand the Rev. Mr. Jones.After prayer by tbe latter gentlemanProf. Steele introduced Mr. J. M.Keating, of tbe Appeal, who addressed the audience as follows.Mr. J. M. Hentlng'a Addreaa.Mv Fribnps We have come together to-night to celebrate withgrateful hearts the opening of thisschool for manual training for tbeeducation of voung men and womenin useful and remunerative trades andoccupations. Humble as a beginning,let us hope that its ultimate result)are to be the fruits of right-living, oftruth, of firmness in right ways, ofmanly and womanly independence inindDBtry, in thrift, in decency of manner, of speech and of life, of justiceand honetty, of rectitude of purposaand constant gratitude to those whosedream for tbe betterment of mankindthus finds a realization.TBI QUESTIONwill occur to many, why the necessitytor manual training why are theyoung men and women of to-day tobe taught in schools what those whopreceded tbem have been taught inworkshops? The answer is tbat inmany workshops of many trades thereis no longer the opportunity offeredfor special training, and tbat in schoolsestablished for that purpose pupils aresure of learning thoroughly under tbedirection of accomplished masters ofhandicraft, so tbat tney may go outinto the contending world measurablyprepared for tbe battle of life. Heretbe use of tools in daily recurringlesions is to be explained the expertand proper use tbat distinguishes tbemaster from tbe "jack-leg" or pretender. Here tbe pupil is to learntbe true measure of square and com'paes, the value of proportion in desi en and purpose, and how inventionmay be prompted by the study ofwavs and means to tbe accomplishment of better results in usefulthings.THE PBOGREHS OK NATIONSis eisilv traced bv the tools in use bymechanics. Indeed, if I was asked tobridge the distance between savageryand civilixation, I should do it withbox of tools. Tbe civilized man owesall tbat he is to the tools in the handsof progressive mechanics. The savageseldom originates anything. He doesnot work. He produces notbing tbatis not compelled by his necessities. Heb n ot) and fishes when he is not at war.He makes nothing that involves handicraft employments. . Oar own Indiansare proof in point The savage manin the early ages ot tbe world madeand used stone hammers and flintarrow-headr, advancing a step beyondthat, and into barbarism, he madebronze arrow and spear heads andswordp, hammers and hatchets. Howhe came to make bronze, te knowtbe value of metals so as to fuse themwith accuracy we shall probably neverknow. Tbat fact, like many others, islost to ns, perhaps forever. It is supposed to have been an accidental discovery, bat whether by accident ordesign it made the way easy to resultant civiliiation. From bronzethe transition to iron was slow, butonce effected there followed with remarkable celerity the uplifting of tbetribes of men so blessed. Tbe nationin barbaric days that bad mines andmade ircn implements was a dominating and overmastering power. Tbenation in oar day is greatest thatcounts the most tools. For that reason AMERICA IS PRE EMINENT.In tbe number and variety of toolsin daily use to make good work easyof accomplishment, ours surpasses allother nations, Great Britain not excepted. Here the jack-screw was firetemployed to ratre bouses from theirfoundations and for their removal todistant sites. Possessed of tbe fundamental principles of mechanics, theadventurous American moves like agod to the accomplishment of greatworks, to mcceeelul contention withnature, to tbe bridging of space andthe annihilation of time. But attainingto this expertness he must have goneto school and learned by slow, by certain steps the value of these principle.Let us eee how they have been for-mu'ated. If we go into a field thatis being plowed ami watch the operaton closely the longer we look thesimpler it Beems. It appears ti beeasily within the reach of aoy willingpsir of hands, and yet if we a-k theplowman he will tell us tbat, easy tsit seems, there is a knack about it thatcan only be acquired by long practiceand by.panentiy and laboriously overcoming many diflk-altlee. That, inother words, there is what artiststerm a technique about it, a handicraft subtlety, that only training andusage, supports 1 by puts. stent courage, can enable man or boy tomaster. And si it is with the moreordinary, but equally as useful,work of tbe ensile. There is a metho Ileal u?e of that moat primitive ofic6trumtnts in (lis ham's cf man thatenables those who know to dig ail daywithout tr.mble r serious lo s ofphysical power, but this mtttiod inonly a?qnited by months, perhapsyears, of fioding out. And so inTUE.SK FIRST DIGINNINU1 C LAUDRwe see that instruction and experience in the right handling and rightuse cf even the simplest toils is essential to the mastery that enables mento do with ease what at first was a tedious labor. The same la to be said ofthe nee of the ax, in which the truewoodsman becomes so great an expertas to fell trees with rapidity and apparent eae tbat astonisnes and dismays tbe learner sad beginner. Butleaving the field and tha foreet, let usgo ti the sea and wa'cb tbe operationsof the busy fisherman who, far fromtne land, pnanes nis precarious ventures in way that excites the bravestlandsman to admiration and applause.The little and often fia'l cratt whencethe nets are cast is mnpaged with theconsummate skill cf an experiencedtailor to meet tbe nnods ot sea andair, and hauls are madt with mechanical precision and adjustment to theoscillations and irregalar tossing oftbe boat, and at last the re-ults of tbe lav are landedas the reward of well direct elexertion. But simple and eay as itall looks, tbe fisherman will tell youtbat bis apparent sleight-of-hand, likehis indifference to wiad and weather,are the results of years ot servicefrom boyhood, ot observation and ofpractice. He will tell you that thereis a long vocabulary of words to belearned as well as of skill in management of tbe boat to be acquired,besides which there Is' KNOWLEODEof seines ard lines and sinkers andnets and bait, and if crabs and oyetcrare involved of cribs and tongs andths handling of them in proper seasons and right ways. This is tbetechnical knowledge of the fishermanand the secret of bis trade, which itbaa taken centuries lo bring to itspresent state of perfection. The manwho is beat versed in tbat knowledgeand is most direct in tbe applicationof it is the best fisherman, and thatthere are beat and better fishermenaa there are best and better plowmen,and spade and shovel men can easilybe ascertained by careful examinationot these separate fields of labor. Kventhe men who mix mortar and cementfor tbe bricklayer and (tone mason acquire by practice a knack of doingtheir work that has a recognized valuewhich often eecurea its poesessor anadvance ot wages above bis fellows.Tbe bricklayer and stone mason workwith the trowel, tiio hammer, theplummet and the lino. These aresimple instruments, but their ns?,though plain, cannot be acquired asreadily as one would suppose whilewatching the building of a wall. Ittakes from four to five years to makeof an intelligent ladA GOOD BRICBLLA YEB OR MASON,a man who can' hy bricks rapidly orfit and adjust stone and follow the lineand plummet wiih tho accuracy essential to eecure straight walls and plumb.Look at the carpenter as be workswith plane and saw, chisel and hammer. His work seems more than tbatof all other mechanics within thereach of most men. And yet thedriving ot a nail will convince eventhe most skeptical that there is aalight of hand necessary tbat can onlybe attained to by years of proper andintelligent direction and practice. Thepreparation and adjustment and fitting of timbers in doors, windows,floors, stairways and walla require thehighest degree of mechanical skill, involving precision and care. Inthe machine shop, where iron isbandied ai if it were wood and it isturned into all desired shapes for machinery, the same degree of .perfection in skill is needed. All the detailsare technical and involve the nse ofvocabulary rich in its number ofwords and their meanings. iKven soseemingly simple a work air the careand running of an engine requires atechnical skill and knowledge tbatmust be equal to jTHE SKVEBEST TISTS OF 9XAMI1UTI0Nin some of the States, and should bein all, before a man car, put his handupon it Engineer! for Ihe navy canonly become proficient after four yearsof severe study under-accomplishedprofessors. But they are proficients inevery branch of mechanical engineering and are generally equal to everyemergency, as are the engineers of thearmy In tbe construction ol lortilications, of bridges, of buildings, and ofall work that falls within the reach ofarchitect and civil engineer. Thearchitect who plans for great buildings overcomes a mountain of technical difficulty before he can enter uponthe practice of bis profession ; and noone can examine the great steamshipsthat plow the ocean and are amongoar quickest means' of internationaltransit without a feelingtf thankfulness that marine architecture has beenformula tod to meet all tbe difficultiesof two of tbe-'moBt destructive elements in nature wind and water.Nothing can bs done well that hahnot been previously planned.

For who is so independentas the man aid woman who, skilledin mechanism, can command emp'oyment at tbe best wages wherever theymay go in the ever-widening world inwhich the English language is spoken.Tbe man who is not trained to work,and does not j understand or has notmastered a trade or calling, is not aswell equipp 'd as the man who canhandle tbe rick and the shovel withthe knowledge uecersary to the conservation of : his energies. Tbe manwho knows a trade is by so muchricher than he who does not. lis bitsa capital of which he cannot berobbed. He poster's an enginewhich he can use at will and engineerat pleasure. The mechanio is thotnaetvr and minister ot civilization.Before he wai called into beingthe world was in the twilightof tavagery. Civilization, a) I have(aid. emerged from tbe age ot iron.which was preceded by the broczea.e and it by the stone age. Beforebronze (words were made men needstone hammers and bone knivoa andbidkins. With these crude and uncertain weapons they fought the fightwith savage nature and with eachother.THE DINC'OVRRY Oh' BRONZEwas a step toward a' condition onemore grade above the brute. With itmen came to' higher knowledge inother things, like nets and seines tocatch fish and houses on tbe margin oilakes above over How and beyond thereach of their enemies. Thuswe have the first beginnings ofmechanics' construction. The fusingof copper and tin in makingbronzs, led lo the discovery of theproperties of other mttals and thesmelting of them by means that havebeen much improved, npon since.Thus knowledge and acquired skill, inever so crude a way, lios at the foundation of civilization. With the usecf iron the march of improvement began. As men became more and more(killed in its manufacture they became more and more civilized. Inthis, the greatest and richest of all periods in the biatory ot tne worldTHKAUK OK BTEIELiron enteis into the construction of alltools and engines and implements, ourhouses, our railroads, steamships, andthe telegraph and telephone the mostwonderful instruments oi nuiuangenius. The greatest of all the industries ot Uermany la tbe Krupp manu.factory of guns, and tho richest andbusiest part ot England is the " blackcountry" of the north, the fires otwhose furnaefs are unquenchable. Inour own country Pennsylvania leadsall the States in manufactories, because of her coal and iron. And so intbe South here, our own State, rich inthese richest of all minerals, is rapidlyadvancing with Alabama to rival thegreat working centers of the North.The mechanic is the master and minister ot the age. What is there in thehumblest home or most gorgeouspalace tbat is essential to life, comfortor luxury that has not come from hispregnant brain and skillful band fWhat is there thai is essential to commerce that has not come from hisworkshop? Tbe telegiaph and telephone wires and instruments, theocean cable, tbe railroad with its engines, the steamship and its engines,all are the products of. his labor. Thechair we ait npon. ths table we sit at,the plates we eat from, and the knives,forks and spoons we eat with, allre from his workshops. The clothesthat shield us from ths winterblasts and the .heats of summer,the bed that makes comfortable restand reenperatiye sleep possible are allmade by bim. Ths very slump andengine by which the money tf thecountry is coined and the press bywhich greenbacks are printed are tberesults of his skill. The plows, theharvester! and planters, the shovelsand spades are also the work of bishand and biain, whose ancient predecessors FIRST LIFTED MAN ABOVE THE BRUTEand placed in ils band the adze ofstone and the sword of bronze and ofiron. In tbe fouseums of onr owncountry, as well as those of Europe,the aathropologlit the scientist whodeals in the science ot man traces bydistinct and gradient steps the growthof barbarism out of savagery andcivilization out of barbarism by theprogress made in tools for work anddefense, in fabrics for clothing and in houses for protection. He does not trace it bycapita', but by ths inventive genius,the taste and skill of successive generations of mechanics, each improvingupon tbe tools and appliances and tbework of the other, and each leavingtbe world better than he fonnd it.And this is to be the hope of the boysand girls who are to be trained here inthe proper nse of tools. They rouststrive for perfection by patient endeavor. They must not, above allthingx, ever be disheartened. Discouragements will come, bnt theymust be overcome. They are alwaysthe test of merit and of purpose. Thesewho are in earnest will survive tbem ;those that succumb will sink to nothiognefs. They will not leave theworld better tnan tbey found it.

This, with courag?,self-reliance and penooal dignity, willmake for yon a place among men andconquer all yonr difficulties of tosition.

Itwas the opinion of ninny of themepresent, who had frequently heardtho learned itnhlii both in the pulpitand on the platform, that ho wasnever more happy than in ids efforthint night. 1 lo drew liberally from.lewirih loro in mipport of the position that a niechnnie was notwithout honor even in tho earliestdays, anil eontriiKtcd with telling ell'ect tho relative positionsof tho knight of chivalry, wastinghis manhood In idle gullautries andfruitions deeds of valor, and the modern toiler whoso strong right armbuilds tho fleets of commerce and letsin motion the busy workshops of thoworld."Tho design of man's activity andwork," said the learned speaker, "isalready found on tho trcstlo-board ofnature. The universo is sustained byintense activity. Because we do notdetect noise, clash and rattle similarto the roar and clutter of our machinery in tho whirling of tho planets andtho conllict of utoms wo are apt toovorlook.tlio veaneless changes thatare going on in everything around uh,and which are indispensable to stability and order. Perpetually decaying aro nuttiro's wide realms, but alsoperpetually rebuilding and reconstructing, and this decaying andbuilding up require most intense activity and never unding labor. If thoplan of a lifo's work is indicated innature's activity, every man's duty isto assign himself some work todo. 'Man goetli fortli to his workand to his labor,' declares ourtext, to that unto which ho is culledand for which he has been fitted. It isfolly to think that wo aro pluccd in thisworld i serve identical purposes. God'swise and inscrutable laws in regard tothe activity of man are so constitutedthat eocfi man nas ins original endowment, adAptutions and correspondencies which set him apart for the performance Of some special work.

There is a permanentprinciple of divine government in thefitness of man lor his place in thoworld's great workshop.

The institutionstbat have added these Industrial departments to their course to day standaa the magnets which attractprosperity to our ' people. Asstudents we are aware that the responsibility of making this additionaldepartment a successor a iauure restsupon our shoulder, uence, in consideration of tho magnitude ot tbeundertaking, we see that patience,faith and a desira to do are the requirements of success. One of themost hopeful signs of the times inall i arts of tbe country, and1 might safely say In all partsot the civlliisd world, isthat thoughtful people are beginningto see that tbe training of ths band isa necessary part of education. It Isnecessary, not simply that young peop'e may learn how to do any giventhing, as carpentering, blacksmlthlng,sewing or cooking, but that they maycatch the spirit of all work, and knowthe value of work. That man who isn aster ei thn square, the hammer, theraw, and such o:her like instrumentsfor common work, is better iltted to dowell than the man who is master of aplaning machine. On the otherhand this same principle holds goodIn industrial training for women.That young lady who understandsthoroughly the use of cooking utensils, the needle and thread, the application of soap, starch and the fad Iron,together with other good qualities, isworthy of being a wife and a mother.In fact our young men are beginningto look upon these things as necessaryrequirements for a good wife, becauseI heard a certain young mansay the other day that be likeda certain young lady becauseshe brought a well-cooked dinner toschool and told him that she cookedIt. What we mostly stand in need ofis to know thoroughly the use of thetools with which we have to work.When these great training schools forour young men and women have gottheir Industrial departments well organized, then tbat will be possible forthe colored race in the South whichhitherto has not been possible, butwhich is absolutely necessary if realsubstantial process in civilization is tobe generally and permanently effected.Our race to-day stands in need of moreindustrious citizens, men who can notonly cast a ballot, but use tiols aswell; men who cannot only wear fineclothes and stand on the corners, butearn money as well. Then thero willbe tbe homes for our people, whereinChristian civilization has its roots.The great glory of the industrial movements in our training schools Is tbatit fosters in onr race the capacity fortaking care nf itself.Prof. A. J. Steele concluded tbeevening's exercise by reading an address upon the value of indns'rialtrainirg that was full of practical andwise suggestions and an admirable argument in behalf ot the system. liealso took occasion to express bis thanksto the public-spirited citizens in thisand other cities who had furtheredtbe foundation ot the schoolhere by money contributionsand valued words of sncouragement. He also announced thatthe workshops would be open forpublic inspection within the next twodays, and invited all who chose to doso to come and watch the work.The audience then quietly dispersed,all of them evidently pleased withtbe evidences tbey had received tbatan important undertaking had beensuccessfully and auspiciously set inmotion'rsn undertaking that promisesthe most beneficial results, not only tothane immediately concerned, but tothe community at large.ALL A MISTAKE.Thfe Mai fen t lrlilcgesWill not e disposed of as advertisedbefore, but will bo sold onenly to thehighest biiWcr Monday, May 3d, at 3o'clock p.ni.pharp, at No. 34 Adamsstreet.
